Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

(Fox News) - A young British couple was recently surprised to find that their bank card had been stolen. They were even more surprised to find out where their money had gone.

An online news site in Kent, England, reports Tania Parker discovered her account had been emptied after she tried to withdraw money from an ATM. When she called her bank, she was told she had made two donations to Barack Obama's campaign totaling around $400.

Parker says she actually prefers Hillary Clinton. She added, "When your card gets nicked you expect them to buy designer jeans or jewelry, not go topping up the coffers of some foreign politician."
